The event was jointly organized by the Vietnam Youth Support Center under the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee, Artillery Regiment 58 under Division 308 of Army Corps 1 and the Training Battalion under Division 371 of the Air Defense - Air Force Service.

The military semester program aims to provide youths with necessary life and social skills. To this end, youths will learn the traditions of the heroic Vietnam People’s Army, and be educated about patriotism, sharing spirit, responsibility, and showing of their inner feelings with family and society. They will be taught on how to develop independence, communication skills, conduct and teamwork skills as well.

In addition, participating youths will have a chance to take part in sports, cultural, healthy entertainment activities and even production to develop good habits and help them feel more confident in future communication.

The program attracts the participation of over 100 children aged 8-15.

The program is hoped to change bad habits of youths formed during the long period of COVID-19 pandemic and boost interaction among family members.

According to statistics from the World Health Organization (WHO), up to 70-80% of children aged 8-15 like online games, in which children addicted to the games account for about 10-15%. In fact, game addiction is becoming a concern of many families and society because of its consequences on young game addicts.
